Veterans have always been at the center of Juneteenth GVL’s work. Freedom Forward continues that commitment.

Veterans bring leadership, discipline, and experience to our communities. Still, finding help with employment, benefits, housing, finances, healthcare, or starting a business can be difficult. The resources exist, but knowing where to find them is often the problem.

Freedom Forward brings those resources into one place. Veterans, military families, and community members can meet trusted organizations, ask questions, make connections, and leave with a clear next step.

Presented in partnership with the South Carolina Department of Employment and Workforce and sponsored by the Truliant Foundation, our goal is to serve 400 people.

Join us in creating a welcoming, practical experience where people can connect with trusted resources and leave knowing their next step.
